Family Visits

I have always been the girl who loves to be around family, which is good because I am apart of a huge family. When we were initially located near Buffalo, NY being around family was easy. The closest relative being 5 minutes away and the furthest being about six hours away. This was until we moved to Florida.

Moving was tough. A much needed move, however it didn't change the fact that we were leaving our friends and family behind. Instead of a five minute drive we became about a seventeen hour drive and a two and a half hour flight if you can afford the cost. I came to realize quickly that even though our visits became far and few, when family is here we make the most out of it. We cherish even the small moments. They Become so much sweeter.
Weeks feel like only days. Days that are not to be wasted. I would like to share some of these crazy memories photographed by my talented cousin Brian Burtis.
